I saw this on my friend Jared Pratt's website and thought it was hilarious.

He also made a random LDS Mission Call website at http://rmball.com/mission-call.html

New Year's 2008

Modeling Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate. (Tastes as bad as the real thing!)

This is one of my favorite pictures from Christmas. Nerf toys are still cool!

Jen's mom gave her dad a combo record player/CD player for Christmas and so their old albums got whipped out and I had to take a picture of this one. This guy must be proud.

I get a kick out of taking a picture of our dinners...especially when we serve them on the square plates. Here we have a selection of Barefoot Contessa carrots and chips (the potatoes), along with Jen's favorite corn, with Chicken.

The National Cathedral (Episcopal)

Mom and Dad walking in the freezing cold outside the massive edifice of the National Cathedral. We took the behind-the-scenes tour and it was great. We even got to out on the balcony of the roof and look over DC. The National Cathedral is an awesome building especially when the sun shines through the stained-glass windows.
